The HD Hero 3: GoPro’s Newest Camera

Posted by Cwork on October 18, 2012 · 2 Comments 

Coming off the heels of releasing their first mobile application, GoPro has now released its most advanced camera yet, the HD Hero 3. The camera is “lighter, smaller, and 2X” more powerful than previous models.

Props to GoPro, a company that has defied expectations by proving its consumer base is growing well beyond the action sports community. GoPros are becoming increasingly popular for the every day human–not just the few who surf  20 ft. barrels or free fall off giant cliffs.

As expected, GoPro is marketing the new camera with the release of an action-packed, three minute video that shows GoPro’s sponsored athletes testing out the new Hero3.
